What else can be said about Sasquatch! these days? What started out as a three-day music festival promoting some of alternative music’s bubbling acts, has become one of the best destination festivals in the country. Every Memorial Day weekend now, the Gorge Amphitheater gets packed with the Pacific Northwest’s wildest citizens, Canada’s most dedicated fans, and weary travelers scattered from other parts of the world.

It remains a festival where the experience matters much more than the actual music. Back in February, the online community groaned about this year’s headliners, but this is a festival that caters to the population of the Pacific Northwest, not something nationally (or even globally) like Coachella, Bonnaroo, or Lollapalooza.
